'Dancing With the Stars' recap: Top 3 couples perform

On tonight's performance finale, the finale three couples will take to the dance floor and try to do what they need to do to take home the mirrorball trophy.

First up are Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas, with the samba as their judges' choice dance. Carrie Ann Inaba helps her work out some of the issues she had previously and show how her dancing has matured. She seems to have taken at least some of the advice, thought I do wish she and Mark weren't dressed the same color as the dance floor -- that makes them blend in some, and that's annoying. Len Goodman says he liked what he was watching, though he didn't love the flailing arms section. Bruno Tonioli calls her an ultrasexy bombshell with a firecracker of a performance. Carrie Ann says it was "hot hot hot," and that she listened and went the extra mile. Scores: 10-9-10, for a 29/30.

Bruno visits Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy to advise them on their samba. He tells her she needs to work on her hands and her extension -- and to take her "moments" in the dance. She agrees that she needs to do that, but during the dance, it doesn't seem to stick. Any time she has these turns and moments of extension where she could kind of pause and work the audience, she is mostly looking down and she looks like she's thinking hard about the next step. That said, I don't know that I would have noticed that without Bruno talking about it -- the dance is still fun. Bruno says it was softer, rich and full of lively pleasures. He does say at times she was still looking at the floor instead of playing to the arena. Carrie Ann says it was a really great samba. Len says it was a different style, but still had a lovely naturalness, great choreography, though it could have been a bit crisper. Scores: 9-9-9, for a 27/30.
